Lyrics & Chords
Full Song
Verse 1
Am G
Hello darkness, my old friend
Am
I’ve come to talk with you again
F C
Because a vision softly creeping
F C
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
F Am
And the vision that was planted in my brain
G Am
Still remains within the sound of silence
Verse 2
Am G
In restless dreams I walked alone
Am
Narrow streets of cobblestone
F C
‘Neath the halo of a street lamp
F C
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
F Am
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
G Am
That split the night and touched the sound of silence
